Hi folks,
straightforward question. Was the above ever supposed to have a copper head gasket or were they always straight on,  head to barrel.
Mine doesn't have one, but i guess that doesn't necessarily make it right.

Hi again...

I have been searching online to no avail, could someone tell me the correct threads for the ES2 (1950) please? I did find some links the older threads on here but it looks like they are NLA? 

Hi all,

Have spent some time getting to know the bike (1950 ES2) now. I am a time served mechanic and know my way around an engine, and although they all fundamentally do the same thing they all have their nuances don't they! 

After splitting the crankcases to get to the crankshaft, I didn't notice there wasn't an oil seal on the sprocket side. But now I'm about to put the engine together, it dawned on me I was missing something: said oil seal...

Hi all, I am new to the group having recently bought a 1950 ES2. I expect I will have loads of questions as I bought it as a non runner!

Hi All,

I have taken the head of my 1935 model 18 in to an engineering firm to have the guides replaced. The new guides are .625 or 5/8 ths.

Hi,
I'm in a middle of restoration of an M18 .
If the bike is standing for several days, most of the oil leave the oil tank to the bottom of the engine.
As I know, the oil pump was restored.

Evening folks,  could someone tell me width and spacing of pinstripes on 500T fuel tank?  There are remnants of a poor repaint but tends to look a bit heavy at 1/2" black and 3/16" red with 3/16" space.
Thanks
